Did Civilization V eat enough of your time? Good, get ready to spare more of it as Civilization VI has been released. Sid Meier’s Civilization has been quite a popular game in the strategy turn based genre and has a long time fan-base. With improved AI, new features and mechanics, I am sure that fans will be hooked again once they boot up Civilization VI.

Performance wise, the game hasn’t presented any major flaws but since it’s a PC game, small issues are bound to occur. I am sure that Firaxis will release patches with time but for the time being, we have the shortlist of common issues Civilization VI is presenting to users with their possible fixes and workarounds.

Civilization VI Errors, Crashes, Bugs and Their Fixes

#1 Civilization VI Sound Issues Fix
There have been many reports about the sound issues users are facing in Civilization VI. Either they can’t hear any sound or it’s too fast for them to hear. In that case, it’s recommended that you try to lower sampling rate for your sound card.

You can do that by clicking on the sound icon on your task bar and choose playback devices. Try choosing 16bit 48000hz and it should work.

#2 Civilization VI Game Does Not Launch
There could be multiple issues behind the game not launching issue. Some users have reported that when press launch, nothing happens. It’s worth mentioning here that the game might take longer than usual when it’s being launched for the first time.

However, if it’s taking forever, you should try the following to resolve the issues:

If you are using a laptop, make sure that the game is being run by using the dedicated GPU and not the integrated one. You can choose the preference from your GPU control panel (Nvidia/AMD).

Verify you game files and Restart Steam.

If you are getting a .dll related error, you should install the files in redist folder of your game.

Make sure that your Operating System does not have any pending updates.

You could also try running the game in the windowed mode. Some users have also reported that disabling Geforce Experience has done the trick for them.

#9 Realtek Sound Crash Workaround
